{"product_id":"chaucers-pilgrims-robert-thomas-lambdin-9780275966294","title":"Chaucer's Pilgrims: An Historical Guide to the Pilgrims in the Canterbury Tales","description":"\u003cp\u003eChaucer's \u003ci\u003eCanterbury Tales\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the oldest and most widely studied works of English literature. The tales provide a glimpse of medieval life, and the professions of the pilgrims figure prominently in the poetry. To have a clear understanding of Chaucer's work, the reader needs to know about the vocations of the pilgrims. For some 600 years, this information has been difficult to locate. This reference work conveniently synthesizes and discusses information about the occupation of each of Chaucer's pilgrims and provides an historical context. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe volume contains individual entries for each of Chaucer's pilgrims, and the entries share a similar format to foster comparison. Each entry includes three parts. First, the pilgrim's profession is discussed in terms of the daily routine of the medieval occupation. Second, the vocation is examined in terms of its reflection in the tale told by the pilgrim. Third, the vocation and the tale are discussed, when possible, in relation to the descriptions of the characters provided in the General Prologue. Each entry includes a bibliography, and the volume concludes with a list of works for further reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Thomas Lambdin, Laura Lambdin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275966291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275966294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.18w x 1.06d","brand":"Robert Thomas Lambdin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913545679103,"sku":"9780275966294","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_54a3f7a0-9ba9-4f90-96dd-11137b1c84a6.jpg?v=1680620971","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chaucers-pilgrims-robert-thomas-lambdin-9780275966294","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
